Yeah how could they let go of a guy that won 4 games as head coach, the 4th an utter disaster in that it cost the 3 draft spots.  We like go clown on McD for bad game management but this is like an order of magnitude worse than anything he's done

 

I'm assuming you're trolling here bc any other explanation would require that you're pretty dumb

Don’t want to say racist. But him, Pierce, and Steve Wilkes were given one year for awful teams with no or rookie qbs while dennis Allen, Shurmur, and plenty of other terrible coaches get multiple years on multiple teams. 
 

again, the best coach in the NFL won 4 games with that team last year. They set him up to fail.

Since when doesn't Kraft like Mayo??

 

Was it because he didn't cover the spread? 🤪

They literally gave him no chance to win. It’s going to the be the way with pierce in LV. Meanwhile, losers like Dennis Allen get 2 teams to suck on. 
 

 

I don’t think he got fired for not winning enough game.

This reminds me of the Broncos firing Nate Hackett or Jags firing Urban Meyers.  Bad hire. Move on. 

Huh?  You think that roster could have done much better with anyone else?  They may be league worst.

They both had way, way, way better rosters and guys who have been consider franchise qbs.

Robert Kraft was probably very pissed that Mayo didn't have a plan to tank that game against Buffalo which cost them the #1 overall pick. 

 

3800 to 1800 from #1 to #4 and a boatload of extra picks to the team that wanted to trade for that #1 to grab a QB.

The rumors were that Mayo was on the hot seat in like week 4.  It wasn’t because of win total.

Mayo seemed like a jerk. Team didn't improve a lick during the season.  Didn't show anything warranting wasting Mayo for an extended period of time. Their are simply better options.

He won a game. 4 of them.

 

what coach would have been successful with that crappy roster? Belichick won 4 games last year. 
 

They shouldn’t have hired him in the first place if they were going to give him a legit shot. 

[HappyDays]

Honestly great move for their organization. The coaching was abysmal this year and they have a great candidate waiting in the wings to lead their exciting young QB. Maybe it's not fair to Mayo but he did nothing to give them confidence this year. As a Bills fan I hate this. At least Vrabel won't have a stockpile of high picks waiting for him.

It wasn’t just the record.  There were multiple instances that we know about (because they were public) where he flubbed it this year.  A whole series of gaffes at press conferences for example.  He’s just not ready to be The Guy yet.

I agree, Mayo seemed like a jerk, but he’s in good company in Foxboro. I’m excited to watch the Vrabel/Kraft relationship deteriorate when Buffalo continues their AFC East dominance. I’m not convinced New England is an easy place to succeed with Kraft in charge.

That’s fair. But I’m sure you can look back at plenty of 1st time coaches who struggled with that stuff their first year. He’s from the Belichick mumble speak tree. 
 

But fair points. That roster was absolute garbage though.

Or Brady covering up for them.

He wasn’t fired for only winning 4 games. I keep trying to tell you.

 

He was fired because his HC career was basically a disaster from the jump. He was the golden boy they groomed for succession, and by like the first quarter of the season, the Pats had serious doubts about his ability to be an HC. That’s why the rumors were flying around that he could be fired BACK THEN. It wasn’t winning this game or not that game. 

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Dark horse candidate:  Kraft could probably be swayed by pointing out that Adam Gase knows a little about the inner workings of the Jets and Dolphins...(very little)

🤔

Yeah, Brady was the “Patriot Way”. Vrabel is a decent coach, but I think it’s time for New England to move on from people associated with the Brady years. That dynasty is over, and attempts to recreate things rarely work. They need to build a team for 2025, not one that clings to the Patriot Way. 

[nosejob]

Did or did they not have the convo?....yo Jerod, if for some reason we lose to the Bills, we get the no 1 pick.....which we can turn into 3 or 4 starters.

 

Or did he already know he was done and took the dub. If so , good for him.

Yea this is what I don’t get ? Vrabel was available last year unless they wanted to give Mayo a chance. Still that’s a big risk if the guy you want is there to be had. I’d rather have Vrabel in NE than a food OC type to work with Maye and whichever weapon they draft at 4 

Was written into mayo’s contract that he would become head coach upon belichick retirement/termination
